Having fun in room 14!
After Vacation we got right back to work researching for our Northeast Region Lap Book. The students worked in pairs and used different types of media (Internet, a video, and text books) to find the information needed.
After vacation I also completed my Responsive Classroom training! I am very excited to use what I learned with our class. We have incorporated Morning Meeting and Morning Message into our daily routine.
 |
| During one of our Morning Meetings the students are discussing what our classroom needs in order for them to meet their hopes and dreams for the year. We then went on to create new classroom rules based on our discussion. |
 |
| This is an example of our Morning Message |
In science we are learning about weather. The students are using thermometers to measure the temperature in both Fahrenheit and Celsius.
Valentines Fun!
Please encourage your student to read, read, read at home! It is so important!
They should also be practicing their math facts NIGHTLY. We are moving into fractions after break and knowing multiplication and division facts will only help your student with this difficult concept.
